Tasting Notes: Shipyard Export

First of all, sorry for the awful photo.  I just noticed you can't read the label, and the head is not there.  Next time I drink one of these I may just re-upload.  Now, on to the beer.

Appearance: Pours a light amber with a hint of caramel or orange color to it and a slight haze.  Nice medium-bodied white head to it, which went away fairly quickly, but left some nice lacing.

Aroma: Malty.  Corn, cereal, no fruit or hops on the nose of this beer.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied.  Definitely not syrupy or heavy, but also not going to roll through like a lager or some other blondes or golden ales.

Flavor: Definitely get the same malt as on the nose, albeit more cereal and less corn.  A little more caramel, fuller malt flavors.  Also a hint of spice, maybe allspice or clove.  Finishes with a crisp hop bite, and no real lingering flavors.

Overall:  Meh.  Nothing bad about this beer.  It's just probably not something I would go out of my way to buy again.  It's got the same flavors and aromas as a macro-brewed adjunct lager, but a little more body, some caramel sweetness, and some spice.  After years of associating that corn smell and the malty start with a slightly hoppy finish with the big guys, it's had for me to really think of them differently, even with a little extra sweetness and some spice.
